My heart goes out to you. Are you a believer? If so & he is not,then you are unequally yolked.
I was in a similar situation,minus the cheating. Married for 9 yrs to an unbeliever. She asked for a divorce ,and we have been so for over a year & a half. Thankfully we did not have children. I knew getting into the relationship that she was an unbeliever,but I thought maybe she would change at some point...instead all that happened was I drew further away from God. In the end,I decided just to let her go. She did not want to seek counseling or any sort of help in working out our relationship. She said the main 'cause of wanting to leave was she was depressed & missed her old way of life,family & friends back in England. The last 2 yrs we were married we were basically roommates.

Your situation is a bit more complex seeing as how you share children,but if he wants to leave you...let him go. That is biblical. Also,he has cheated & been unfaithful you say,so that also is grounds for leaving him. Continue to pray for him certainly,but God doesn't want you in a relationship where you are being cheated on & emotionally abused. There are no easy answers,but I pray that the Lord guides you in your next steps. Don't give into fear & doubt. If you are saved,then God has given you His Holy Spirit to lead you in His truth.

God Bless you & I hope things do indeed work out for you. There are tons of people on this site you can talk to as well. Please,whatever you do,don't isolate yourself. Thank you for sharing even though this is painful.

I am not one to condone divorce... In fact I think many who give the advice of divorce on this sight have no right to give that advice on biblical basses... But you might have to let your husband go and let him pursue his heart... I know it sounds cruel the way I put it but to be honest, it sounds like your husband is a narcissist... I personally believe by the information you have told me that the reason he takes breaks on your relationship is to control you and to make you want to be with him... I know I have only seen barely a paragraph into your life but I feel like he truly will continue this behavior no matter what...

To be honest your life will change on this decision... Not only your life but your children's as well... But the change could be 100 times for the better, I know if my parents would have stayed together I would be a millionaire at the moment because the split owned a construction company (which was extremely profitable)... But I would rather have the life I have then be a millionaire... Its hard to explain but I just would...


You do have scriptural basses to leave your husband if you ask him to stop his ways (sexually with other women) and he will not...

Your heart is in the perfect place right now, you are focusing on God being the only thing that can change him, but I ask you to reread the parable with the seeds and the soils in Matthew 13... Because your husband might not be a fertile soil...

I will pray...

Thank u both very much for your support . I knew when I married him he wasn't a believer. I have been for 20plus years I guess coming from a broken home myself was hoping and trying so very hard for that to not happen to my kids also I am a very forging person because of my faith maybe a bit too much

Father in Heaven,

I pray for Amylia and her family in Jesus name. God, you designed this very sacred union between man and woman, and this union is in trouble. She has submitted to him, but he has yet to submit himself to you, Lord. You know all things God, and pray that this very difficult situation turn around in Jesus name, Amen.
